Great Stay, but Short on Towels-TWICE!
Pros:

Great location.
Very good size rooms.
Very clean.
Only negative thing: We booked two rooms for two couples. Each room had a double bed and a single, but only one set of towels in each room. One room noticed before going to bed and went downstairs to get an extra set, but the other room didn’t realise until someone was already in the shower.

Yet again always go the extra mile.
Pros:

We always stay at Premier Inn The Gate and wouldn’t stay anywhere else.
We would like to thank Christina the Hotel Manager as every time we stay Christina is always so helpful and makes our stay more enjoyable. Christina is an asset to the Premier inn at The Gate.
I would also like to mention James and Lara from the restaurant they are also very helpful.

"Good night guarantee??"
Pros:

Loud banging outside the room literally shaking the room from 5.30am. Was referred to the 'good night guarantee' by receptionist, called the number for it and was met with nothing but condescending attitude and bad service. Will not recommend the Premier plus rooms here. Disgusting.

perfect breakfast
Pros:

Great location for the Hotel especially if going there for the nightlife. Room was clean and tidy but very dated. Very quiet hotel no issue with noise, Good value for money. FOH staff for breakfast friendly didn't manage to get names. Taylor the breakfast chef was friendly and pleasant, her paoched eggs were cooked to perfection, food was fresh and replenished frequently, can't comment for other meal times due to only breakfast during our stay.

Excellent as always
Pros:

The staff here are so friendly and helpful. It really makes a difference and adds another night onto our holiday! They work very hard and really care that you’re getting good value and enjoying yourself. The receptionist was lovely and Emily at the bar was wonderful and very knowledgable about the drinks options. We always look forward to staying here and will continue to do so!

A good stop over...
Pros:

Having to visit the area at short notice, my wife and I styed at the Premier inn, Newark for a night last week, and all was fine.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
Our room was a standard one, and none the worse for that, it had all we needed for a short stay...and it was my fault for not asking for an extra pillow.
The £5 overnight parking fee was a nuisance, but it's difficult to see how it could be avoided or 'built into' the nightly cost given the car park is shared.
The Beefeater next door is handy after a long drive.
Premier Inns do what they say on the tin, no more but no less.
Recommended.

Nice hotel, great staff
Pros:

The hotel is only a few minutes walk to the airport terminal. You have to walk under the hilton double tree which at the time of our one night stay was £43 more to be 30 yards closer to the airport. Never stayed at a Hilton so obviously can't compare the two hotels. The staff were very pleasant and friendly from check in to check out. Usual premier inn bar menu, a little more expensive than your local village pub, and the restaurant menu had slight differences from the last on we stayed in at Liverpool airport but what we had was lovely. The room was tidy and bed was very comfortable. I would have given 5 stars but the only very minor thing I can pick up on is, it would benefit from a little TLC through out and an upgrade to the heating and air conditioning in the rooms. And what ever happened to normal toilet roll, those individual sheets are a nuisance. All in all a premier inn worthy of the name.

Small and cold room , no ventilation , staff unfriendly
Pros:

Nothing good about it . Except negative side . I never been asked to fill from of my nationality , address , all customer details when I check in with a extremely hostile face ( seems like we did something wrong ) . This is new rule ? The room is cold , the heater will turn off after few minute work despite the room still cold . no ventilation .4 of us stayed tiny room , no ventilation , cold room , plus need to pay 9.99£ for park per night . Seems one of the lowest standard , highest charged Premier inn
